ACK, but gnu-fdisk uses libparted (whereas util-linux does not) and
several users WANT to use gnu-fdisk BECAUSE of some features not
available within util-linux. So why not let the user decide which
binaries he prefers? If you think update-alternatives isn't the way
to go why not just provide gnu-fdisk as /sbin/gnu-fdisk and cfdisk
as /sbin/gnu-cfdisk?
